All this talk of DIY boat polishing vs paying someone has my back and my wallet aching.

For a long time now I have known that I have two capital accounts.

In the first there is body capital, which is the remaining balance of physical effort that I can apply to a project.

The second capital account contains money which can be exchanged for tasks that I might have done myself in earlier years.

Since I prefer to use what is in the first account for fun things I find myself paying for services more often now.

Last year I got a quote of $2,600 to do a ceramic and polishing job on my 24' boat.

I checked both accounts.

My back said "NO!" and my wallet concurred.

If you see me out on the lake please wave.

I'm the guy in the faded, dull Searay.
